About Sharon
LMFT Sharon Kuhlmann practices in Minnesota and brings 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns while using practical approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Gottman Method, mindfulness, and solution-focused work.
Sharon listens closely and offers clear, actionable ideas. She draws on two decades of client work and a background as a registered nurse to explain how the body and mind interact during anxiety, stress, depression, and pain. That practical link often guides her suggestions for breathing, grounding, and other self-calming tools.
Sessions tend to include direct problem solving and skill practice. She may use cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. For relationship concerns she uses elements of the Gottman Method to work on communication and intimacy-related issues.
For trauma and abuse, Sharon offers trauma-focused strategies and uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address distressing memories. Mindfulness methods are used to help with sleep, concentration, and coping with life changes. Solution-focused techniques are brought in when a client needs clear steps and short-term goals.
Her background in nursing informs a practical, body-aware style. Parents and people dealing with grief, compassion fatigue, career stress, or ADHD-related challenges may find her approach straightforward and task-oriented.

How her methods translate to online work
Sharon commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this often involves short exercises, homework, and skill practice between sessions. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address traumatic memories, which is a structured approach that focuses on processing distressing events and reducing their emotional intensity. The Gottman Method elements she uses focus on improving communication and managing conflict in close relationships through specific interaction skills.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She collaborates with clients to match methods to the person’s goals, symptoms, and preferences rather than prescribing a single path. That means trying techniques, checking in about progress, and adjusting plans as needed.
The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and letting clients use video or phone to suit quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and many trauma-focused techniques to remote sessions while focusing on practical coping skills and stepwise progress.
